Actually Protection From Magic does protect from eradication at GM, remember Wise/Tolberti. It's one of the main reason why I don't like playing MM6 as well. Not to mention the fact it doesn't have regeneration, soul drinker, and melee characters aren't very effective for the 2nd half of the game.The mod does give a good challenge for experienced players as the regular version isn't that hard. The hardest area is actually is the pit with monsters that have pain reflection and shrapmetal. I died there so many times I lost count.
